Revisiting the park after years of absence in Europe, it is difficult to see how it deteriorated. Once it became a romantic place for picnics, walkers, joggers, cyclists and pool users. Now, sadly, it has fallen into a quasi-abandoned state. Safe, sometimes never the best, now getting worse. Parks are more suitable for places where cars accelerate. Pools with waves are no longer used, vegetation looks dry and you risk being raised by knives or guns after sunset. It used to be a great park, in fact everyone in the city came to this park. I used to jog on a ten kilometre path and even at night I hadn't had any misfortunes in fifteen years. I would be crazy after dark today.
